SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Wireless Gaming Keyboard - Black

I recently purchased the wired version and I returned it due to me having problems with the software as in the RGB freezing and the OLED screen freezing and playing a fast animation on the screen than a normal speed. So I returned it and spent an extra $64 for the wireless version and all my problems are solved. No more RGB freezing and the OLED screen works. I did own the first Apex pro tkl board which is my favorite stock board to this day. Now they did remove the extra USB port which I don't have a problem with. Also if you are wondering, you can attach a cable Via USB-C and play the board wired instead of wireless. Overall good board and good connectivity for gaming. (I will update if I find anything wrong with this board.) 9/10

The Apex Pro TKL wireless is so damn good. Customizable display, macros and dual action keys with onboard configurations and settings, Super fast wireless USB connection with Bluetooth options that work with PC/Mac/iPad /PS5 makes this a dream to use. The GG software needs improvement but once you get used to it, it’s fun to tinker with. Got a few different profiles setup with custom color settings and video loops to help identify what mode I’m using. got it on a wicked good sale ($175 if I recall) and was an easy decision to make.

Not sure if I was just given a defective one. But ive only had my for a little over a month. And from day 1 the charging port seemed to have issues. I had to have it perfect for it to charge and not touch it. Which wasn't a big deal but it seems it effected the ESC key next to the port now and the key no longer works. Other than that I loved the keyboard when it did work I thought it was great but again not sure if it was due to build quality or a defect mines but mine broken already and I bought it on October 10th. This was my frist Steelseries keyboard. I think I will stick go Razer after this.

This keyboard has all the bells and whistles with some tassel to add. It literally has everything a gamer is looking for with omnipoint 2.0 switches you get above 8000 htz polling rate, dual action keys, rapid response and adjustable actuation for every key. Along with the fact it’s all wireless. This keyboard is a game changer in games you can utilize this stuff. The only singular thing I possibly could say isn’t the best maybe the clackyness while typing not that it’s bad I don’t mind it but to be picky lol I prefer the sound of the Rog scope ii 96. However that keyboard has none of the gamer functions this keyboard contains. This keyboard for me is highly recommended.

If you are like me and looking at this board, you may be getting frustrated at how hard it is to find that nearly perfect board that should exist, when you're willing to drop over $230. Pros: - Omnipoint switches work as advertised -- if you like super fast response time, you can't beat these. These switches also have excellent bounce and no ping. - PBT keycaps are nice, and switch cross-stems are compatible with a lot of after-market keycaps. Overall a solid thock. - Unlike other small wireless boards (ahem Logitech G915 TKL...), this has no rattle - Very light and quite compact even among TKLs, makes for a good portable board in a TKL case. - The volume wheel is very satisfying. Cons: - Firmware issues, firmware issues all around. There are some updates available, but even with it, the battery indicator is botched. My first piece would refuse to charge (as far as I could tell) until it was nearly drained. The second unit charged, but the battery indicator would be all over the place based on what was going on, ranging from 30% to 80% within a 4 minute span! Which is accurate? Who knows. - Also, the battery life kinda sucks. Typically lost over 50% charge with moderate LED lighting in 5-6 hours of use with an aggressive sleep timer set. Other boards lose barely 15% with this amount of usage. - The keyboard doesn't wake up very fast, and it doesn't register the keypress you used to wake it up. Leads to missed keystrokes often, especially if you set a low sleep timeout to conserve battery. - The only Caps lock indicator is the LED color of the key becomes white (which tbh is kinda blue, see below) when active. This is really hard to see quickly, and there is no option to use the superfluous OLED screen for this. Overall the OLED screen would have been better used for lock or battery indicator lights. This is kind of a big QoL issue for me that could be easily resolved with OLED firmware. - LEDs are kinda off. Blues are too strong, reds very weak, and have heard of folks having issues with LEDs dying, with no easy repairability. - Despite how nice the switches are, they don't feel as good as gasket-mounted/dampened switches. The spacebar is a huge offender, with no stabilizers it is jarringly louder than every other key, but is one pressed quite often so it makes you sound like a really bad drummer. It's hard to not compare this board to others at this price point that sound way better (see: ROG Azoth). - The USB-C 2.4Ghz transmitter is quite chonky as far as transmitters go these days (again, see ROG Azoth). This makes it project a good bit from your computer, making for a prime cable-snagger. On top of that you likely need a USB-A adapter or extension cable, which is one more component that is a failure point, takes up space and hampers portability. There's also no dock in the keyboard for them (which they could have easily accommodated) for portability. The cons list outnumbers the pros by just a little bit much for a $200+ keyboard, hence why I returned it. Ultimately the ASUS ROG Azoth was the first and only $200+ board to check the features I wanted while having fewer cons than pros. Still, the Apex Pro TKL is a clear second, with some advantages that might tip the scales in its favor if those are more important to you.

This is one of the best keyboards i've bought so far. it has a hefty price but worth it. This keyboard is incredibly fast having a customizable 4.0 actuation point to all away down to 0.1 making it incredibly responsive. Another neat feature this comes with is a screen with a bunch of settings that are customizable. The sound is alright but its mainly based on performance. if you want a better sound and slightly more responsive i'll recommend getting the gen 3 apex pro but more expensive. Overall Amazing Keyboard especially for competitive gaming

After a year of using the Apex Pro TLK, I had to switch back to the Logitech G915. When the SteelSeries works, it's a good typing experience. Majority of the times, it's plugged in or charging since the batteries are so poor on it, lasting 2 days most of times. Whereas with my old keyboard that I dusted out of the closet after a year still had 35% on it and that lasted a week before needing to be charged. Not only that, it was constantly having connection issues with both Bluetooth and wireless adapter, so even more reason to leave it plugged in. The battery was so bad I thought I had a defect so I got a replacement. Turns out, it's just that horrible. The OLED screen is often obfuscated by the keys so unless you are looking from a high angle, you're surely going to miss a big chunk of whatever is being displayed by it. While we are in that area, the volume knob is pretty bad in the sense that it's in an inconvenient position where you have to reach over the keys. It's very tiny and doesn't feel great to adjust (this is personal preference). It's not smooth scrolling or have a satisfying scroll to it, there's no inertia at all on it and it moves in big chunks instead of nice small feedback, so there will not be any fine volume adjustments. I eventually ended up getting separate volume knob because of all the reasons above. I also ended up having a battery bank attached since I don't like wires on my desk but it would also die too quickly. The software is just okay. Borderline poor just because how much it tries to push their products, and make you accidentally install bloatware like Sonar. It gives inaccurate readings for battery information occasionally as well. The design looks great and it feels good to type on. Outside of that, you wont use the screen often, the volume knob is horrible, and the worst part is definitely the battery. This is the only keyboard I've experienced that resembled a person on life support

My son loves it.

This is a very well made keyboard, particularly the 2023 edition, which comes with upgraded keycaps and optical switches. My only complaints, which are very minor, are a slight 'twang' from the keys (like a spring releasing) sometimes - you have to listen pretty closely and if you type lightly its not an issue. I also suspect the battery life might be uninspiring, but that remains to be seen (and can be tweaked via the software to reduce backlight brightness, etc. The backlighting is phenomenal on this keyboard. The included wrist rest is very much appreciated. Recommend using the 2.4 wireless dongle vs BT if gaming at all. Also, make sure you upgrade the firmware via SteelSeries Engine immediately to resolve some issues.

Ótimo produto. Já estou utilizando a um tempo, não me arrependo do investimento.

Got it for my colleague as a gift. He loves it!!!! This keyboard got bluetooth, RF and wired connections. Keys are great to type on. Battery life can take a hit if your backlights are turned on at full brightness with effects. But overall, really happy with it.

The product is good but the price dropped a lot after 2 weeks I purchased with the original price :(
